WALL
As 2012 comes to a close and we gear up for new beginnings, let’s all remind ourselves what our holiday breaks from work are really good for - having extra days to recuperate from our hangovers. So as you let your mistletoe linger just a few nights longer and chug the last of your spiked eggnog, come out to Wall at The W Hotel in South Beach for a week of bottle popping and booty shaking with the most beautiful people in Miami.

FRIDAY, JUNE 29th
When: 11pm-5am

Man, Miami is quickly becoming one of the go to destinations for any EDM lover craving some awesome clubs and beach parties. With some of the world's best DJs playing just about every night, one might wonder if it hasn't become THE destination. Of course, if EDM isn't your thing, plenty of rock acts are heading to Miami in May as well, so don't worry. Here is a list of some of the shows we thought you'd be interested in. As always, let me know if I missed anything worth seeing!

Another great Thursday night at the W South Beach, and once again, we're back at it! Joonbug Miami and Smac Entertainment have proved that their new partnership with Michael Capponi and Michael Martin brings some unbelievable energy to the night, and that Summer Thursdays are here to stay! The crowds are really feeling our choice of true "Open Format" sounds that our DJs have been providing, and this week will be no different. We welcome Dijital, a Wall favorite and his first time playing the newly improved Summer Thursdays. Let's just say that excitement is an understatement!
More than just WALL, Summer Thursdays are excited that WET (Poolside at W South Beach) is really picking up steam. Our resident DJs Ryan Jove and Andres Fresko, have been doing a great job of playing funky, groovy house music, keeping a great vibe going all night poolside, where you can enjoy the beautiful property of the W South Beach in a more relaxed atmosphere.

More than just WALL, Summer Thursdays is excited to have WET (Poolside at W South Beach) up and running in full force. This week we welcome back resident DJ's Ryan Jove and Andres Fresko, who play the perfect blend of lounge / house music to set the right tone and Miami's most beautiful outdoor pool space.

Although it may always feel like summer down in Miami Beach, Summer Thursday's kicks off this year with DJ Sinatra on May 3. With the launch of Joonbug Miami and Smac Entertainment's newly formed partnership with Michael Capponi and Michael Martin, this summer's Thursday night plans to be one to be remembered. Going after that true open format music style void, many of the best open format DJ's in the industry will be sharing the list of talent hitting the booth at WALL with DJ Sinatra (this week) and DJ Irie (next week).
Sinatra has quickly become one of the most sought after party DJ's in recent years. Playing all over the world, but mostly in NYC, Miami and Tokyo, Sinatra has been invigorating dance floors in the swankest of clubs. When asked what you need for a party, he was quoted as saying, "Well first great music, a lot of woman, Patron, and plenty of ENERGY!"
Listen to some of DJ Sinatra's sets here, and when I say listen, I mean dance.
WET, the beautiful outdoor poolside oasis will also be launching for summer Thursday night. Resident DJ Ryan Jove will be sharing the DJ booth with Andres Fresko.
Poolside Drinks at WET 10pm-2am. WALL 11pm - 5am.
For VIP Reservation, please contact Miami@Joonbug.com

WALL at the W Hotel South Beach has been a booming South Beach chill spot since its opening 14 months ago, so it came as a shock when club owners Karim Masri and Nicola Siervo decided it was time for a few tweaks despite no signs of a dip in popularity. With their past involvements in Mokai and Mynt, it was no surprise that these two knew exactly what they were doing. After a 10 day hiatus, WALL returned last week redecorated and redesigned for the better. Masri and Siervo took an already thriving venue, and with a few adjustments, were able to enhance the energy and ease the flow, making the experience more enjoyable for their guests. By adding gold couches and removing the x-shaped couch previously in the center of the room, they were able to improve the flow of the room, allowing for easier access to walk across the space as opposed to simply the circular path previously available. The DJ booth has also been relocated from its previous, seemingly detached, location to front and center, amplifying the energy throughout the space and incorporating the DJ in the party experience. Aesthetically, LED diamond shaped mirrors have been added behind the bars, mimicking the diamond shaped tiles that plaster their walls, and a 35-inch Raimond chandelier now hangs from the ceiling, its lights glowing to the beat of the music. With the hot new layout and design comes an even hotter new weekly party. Joonbug.com along with OneFifty will be taking the famed “Favela Chic” party, known to cater to an upscale model-like crowd, to the elegant and sexy revamped space, bringing you special surprise guest performances every Tuesday. This Tuesday October 19, don’t miss out on the launch of Favela Beach, where there will be a special live performance by Bobby Brown, and resident DJs Ross One and King Benjamin will be spinning into the late night hours. Doors open at 11 p.m.
